So i KNOW everyone and their dogs know about Black Friday as being the biggest shopping day of the year right? And we've all heard crazy ass stories of disgruntled shoppers making insane threats over not getting the item they want. But where and when did Black friday start? What in the helllll started all this madness?!
Well you're about to find out =]
Back in 1966 Philly used to call the day "black friday" becuase of all the pedestrian traffic around the town for shopping. And around 1975 the name caught on in other cities, also was called Black Friday because retailers are turning such a profit and are considered ''in the black''
Yep there ya go, a little random fact for ya.
Just a reminder for next years Black Friday, seeing as I was a cashier in 2007 on Black Friday...and it WAS hell.
Just remember don't be pissy with your cashiers, they have delt with 50 people just like you, before you came along being rude. We are MORE tired then you, MORE stressed, and still have to smile!
;)
there ya go how'd ya like that?
